Beth: HHD: Roald's Raceway

I decided to do some interior designing today, so I headed onto HHD and found a chicken, a penguin and a hippo all with ideas. Roald seemed to be inspired by Mario!

Knox, however, just wanted a battle.

And the hippo wanted a construction zone, and he already had the shirt to match.

I decided to park him by the railway, just so at least people can get to his racetrack :P

A lot of items were unlocked with this one, including a Mario Kart!

I used all of the items inside, and eventually had them surrounding me :P

I tried to make Roald's house like an organised garage/pitstop, with a scooter and kart surrounded by tools, a radio, helmets and shelves

Outside, I parked a few cars as I didn't want to spend ages creating an actual raceway :P Why don't they have rugs for this?

Thanks for reading, see you Wednesday!

HHD: Designing the Slopes

I headed on to HHD for the first time in a while and had a look at the different designs people wanted.

One of the options was a stew-making setup. Who even comes up with these? Who looks at a bear cub and thinks 'stew'?

Chrissy had a slightly less imaginative theme, so I went back to my original client and decided on the ski slope!

Of course, the only natural location for this was the top of a snowy mountain.

I focused the ski slope design on the outside with a little cabin as the house.

Inside the cabin, I made a little shop and relaxing area with a fireplace and cabin/wooden themed furniture and decor.

If you want to have a look at the design, you can scan the QR code above!

Thanks for reading!

Beth: ACHHD: Beau and Marcie

I decided to play ACHHD today, and as soon as I started up the game I spotted Beau. I used to have Beau in my first town, and I just loved him. It was easy to know that I was going to design for him!

I knew I needed to create his house in a mountain area, and I eventually settled on this one.

Beau's theme was perfect for him - food and the outdoors! Sounds pretty good, actually.

It took me a while, but I eventually designed a dark, sunset-y campsite with a picnic area.

I also designed the roof with ivy and filled the rest of the space with plants.

Outside, I went for a simple picnic bench and some plants. Unfortunately this particular area doesn't have much outdoor space - I should remember that :P

I made sure to include some seating, a good picnic area and an area for sleeping.

I continued the game and had to decide between a home for jam sessions or a nursery school. I chose the nursery!

I wanted a relaxing place, near to a train track. Although you can't see the track, it is just off to the right.

I did end up nearer to a track, though, with the river running just below!

I made sure to design the building with a nice, kid friendly vibe :P

Inside, the furniture I was given seemed very pink. I could have changed the colour, but I decided to go with the theme!

I chose mostly pink furniture, wallpaper and even lights. I tried not to go overboard, and I think it worked.

Outside was pretty simple too, and I focused on blue and pink.

As with Beau's house, you can visit either by scanning the QR code in the pictures!

Thanks, and see you next time.

Beth: HHD: Cranston's Rice Field

Instead of playing New Leaf, I decided to play Happy Home Designer! It's been a while, so I thought it was about time to design some more houses.

One of the options I had was an underwater fantasy land.

The other option I had was to create a studio, but I wasn't too keen on either. I had a little wander to see if there was another option.

I did have another choice - a rice paddy! I chose this one.

I decided to place this house on one of the biggest plots available.

Once I got to the plot, I was reminded of my task.

Inside, I created a living area based on a kitchen. I used mainly natural looking furniture, including a tatami bed and bamboo bench!

Outside, I did the only natural thing - filled the yard with crops! I also used a few of the new pieces I unlocked, including a tractor.

When I finished the design, I went to visit a few of the other animals I've designed for. I ended up in Diana's house!

I took a few photos her house, as it's definitely one of my favourite designs.

I made sure to take a few photos in there and post them on my Tumblr - it needed updating!

Thanks for reading!

Beth: HHD: Sweets & a Princess

 The other day, I decided to create a 'chocolate overload' themed house for Carmen. I put her house in winter, as I hardly ever use it and always go for spring :P

 Her needed items were chocolate and chocolate cake. Sounds like my needs, too!

 I decorated with a sweets wall and floor, some marshmallow chairs and a lot of chocolate themed food.

 At one end, I placed the giant candy house from a previous monthly challenge.

 I also made sure to include the desserts case for any new cafe customers!

 Outside, I focused on using my sweets path and the colourful fairy light covered trees. Tempted to try some treats? Scan the QR above!

 Today, I had a lot of challenges I'd like to do. The first sounded interesting - a whole house about bananas? Does Mr Bananagrabber live there?

 I also liked the look of Dizzy's theme, a playground!

 But the one I liked most was this one - a luxury mix for a luxury goat.

 I decided to place Pashmina's house near the train track so she can travel to the city quickly (for shopping, of course).

 Her theme was centered around gorgeous and rococo furniture, but I did also add some princess.

 I used a real mix with this house, but I didn't want to make it too dark.

To balance it out, I used a couple of light princess items and the princess wall and rug! I think this should be fancy enough for her :P

 In the smaller room, I added a nice retreat for Pashmina. It might not include rococo or gorgeous furniture, but I'd still be happy with it!

 

Outside, I tried to reflect some of the luxuriousness of the inside. Want to visit this sumptuous mansion? Scan the QR above!

Thanks for reading, I'll be back over the weekend with a NL episode!
